Qiao Nian walked back to her room. After closing the door, she locked it without hesitation.
Exhausted, she placed her bag on the table beside her and lay down heavily on the bed, heaving a sigh of relief.
She stared blankly at the white ceiling. Thinking of Gu Zhou and Gu Qi’s relationship, her heart was in a mess.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Qiao Nian stood up and walked towards the door tiredly. When she opened it, she saw Matriarch Gu standing outside.
"Grandma," Qiao Nian greeted.
"Nian Nian, do you have time?" Matriarch Gu asked gently, a loving smile on her face.
When Qiao Nian heard Matriarch Gu’s words, she nodded.
Matriarch Gu walked into the room and sat on the sofa. She patted the empty seat beside her, indicating for Qiao Nian to sit down.
Qiao Nian walked over to Matriarch Gu and sat down.
Matriarch Gu took Qiao Nian’s hand and placed it on her knee. She looked at Qiao Nian dotingly and said gently, "Nian Nian, when you married into the Gu family, we didn’t manage to hold a grand wedding for you. You and Gu Zhou were still married in secret. We didn’t do well back then. It’s been hard on you."
Qiao Nian shook her head gently.
She also hoped to keep her marriage a secret. After all, her relationship with Gu Zhou...
Qiao Nian pushed all the distracting thoughts to the back of her mind and stared unblinkingly at Matriarch Gu.
Matriarch Gu sighed softly and said helplessly, "It’s all thanks to you that Ah Zhou’s condition has stabilized. He has suffered a lot in the past, which is why he has become like this. This is a mental illness that’s not easy to treat."
Qiao Nian was slightly stunned. She hadn’t expected Matriarch Gu to mention Gu Zhou’s childhood to her now.
She still remembered the last time Matriarch Gu was unwilling to say this.
"Actually, I should have told you about these things the last time you asked me." Matriarch Gu sighed softly, her eyes filled with heartache and sadness.
Gu Zhou had a nagging feeling that he was the extra one.
